The Weekly Movie Watch Volume 10

This week I watched The Rover, Toy Story 2, The Magnificent Seven.

I watch movies every week and then write down my thoughts. Read my previous reviews!
My rating is simple, Watch It, It Depends, Skip it.


Guy Pearce in The Rover
The Rover - He really wants his car back.

Watch The Rover
Written by: David Michôd, Joel Edgerton and David Michôd (based on a story by)
Directed by: David Michôd
Starring: Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson, Scoot McNairy
Rated: R

Plot:
After having his car stolen, a man stops at nothing to get it back.

Review:

It feels a bit like a western, perhaps due to the bleak setting. You question what is really driving the plot, other than the contrived premise, and the dynamic between the main characters casts a shadow of uncertainty. It's well acted and a welcome change of pace to a 'typical' movie.
It depends.


Woody and Buzz in Toy Story 2
Toy Story 2 - Better than the original.

Rated: G

Plot:

Review:
It is very impressive and touching. It still looks good now despite how much technology has evolved. The story is simple, but poignant and well told. It's a great film and one everyone should see.
Watch it.


movie The Magnificent Seven
The Magnificent Seven - Only the farmers win.
The Magnificent Seven (1960)
Watch The Magnificent Seven

Review:
It's a very good Western. It's hard not to compare it to The Seven Samurai, the source material. But it is still very much a Western, and very good. Yul Brynner does a great job, as do all the actors.
Watch it.
